Entertainment at Disney's Animal Kingdom® Park


Flights of Wonder is a scheduled 25-minute live show presented several times a day in the Asia area of Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park . The show features the fascinating natural behaviors and often humorous talents of at least 20 species of exotic birds, including Harris hawks, macaws and a Yellow-napped Amazon parrot named Groucho, who has an amazing singing voice.
Step inside the shaded, canvas-canopied area and take a seat in front of the ornately-decorated Caravan Stage. This is where local tour guide "Guano" Joe and his partner Luke, a bird handler in training, pair up for the Flights of Wonder performance.
In response to "Guano" Joe and Luke's cues, the birds hunt, sing, soar and sometimes swoop just above your head for some high-flying surprises.
Though the cast changes on occasion, the Flights of Wonder show may include birds from these species:
"Will be @ AK May 9th with DH, DD 6 and DS 8. We usually leave park from 12-3 for swim/nap. Can we get AK done in one day since only open 9-5? We plan on skipping Nemo show (been there, done that, not our fav). Want to do other main attract. - possible?"
"Is it normal for Animal Kingdom to have the exact same entertainment show schedule 4 days consecutively? December 12-15 calendar shows only Flights of Wonder, no Finding Nemo or Festival of the Lion King."
"Visiting WDW in early Feb with DH, DS4, DD2, DS10mos, brother and parents. Can we do AK in half a day? If we only stay there until around 1:00 what are the attractions we should not miss? Thanks for great advice."
"When is the best time to go to Animal Kingdom in January w/ 4 and 1 yr old - early in morning or later afternoon + eat dinner there? Thank you. Love this board."
"Any suggestions for planning a half day visit to Animal kingdom with a 4 yr. old girl? What are the must see and do-not miss things in AK to accommodate in half day visit. Thank you for your time and wonderful advice."
